Installation Notes

Primo requires 12 in. of clearance behind the grill for the lid to open and at least 2 in. around the exterior, per the spec sheet. Use the grill outdoors only, never use lighter fluid, and set the grill on Primo ceramic feet on any surface other than a metal stand. In New York City, the NYC Fire Code restricts charcoal and other open-flame grills on balconies, terraces and rooftops, so confirm your building and FDNY rules before ordering. Book a design consultation if you want to build the Primo into an outdoor kitchen instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which base should I choose?

The steel cart is the most compact and rolls on locking casters; side shelves add prep space; the cypress table gives the most counter space.

Can it smoke and sear?

Yes. The oval firebox can be split with a divider for two-zone cooking, so you can sear over direct heat on one side and roast or smoke indirectly on the other.

How many people does it feed?

Primo sizes the Oval Large 300 for about 5 to 10 people.

Can I use it in New York City?

On a backyard or ground-level patio, usually. The NYC Fire Code restricts charcoal grills on balconies, terraces and rooftops, so check your building and FDNY rules first.
